Testimonials:
“Working with Daniel has helped me develop a deeper understanding of emotional intelligence and how it shapes my leadership, especially under pressure. He’s guided me in identifying the triggers that lead to less constructive responses, and in building the awareness to pause and redirect. Our sessions have given me practical tools to lead with more composure, clarity, and empathy. Because of Daniel’s coaching, I’m becoming a more grounded and emotionally resilient leader.”
“Working with Windward Coaching Services has been one of the most valuable professional investments I’ve made. As a fellow Fuqua classmate, I knew Daniel brought intelligence and integrity to his work – but his coaching exceeded all expectations. Daniel didn’t just help me reflect on my career path – he pushed me to get clear on my true non-negotiables, something I hadn’t fully articulated before. His thoughtful, challenging questions helped me see my current situation with fresh perspective, and his structured exercises around emotional intelligence were especially impactful. That focus on EQ is what truly sets him apart from other coaches I’ve encountered. For anyone in leadership – especially those in consulting or strategy roles – Daniel is an outstanding partner. I highly recommend working with him if you want to lead with more clarity, confidence, and authenticity.”
“My experience with WCS has been instrumental in elevating my engineering leadership approach. It helped me strengthen my emotional intelligence, foster a more inclusive team culture, and eliminate the ‘bunker mentality’ that often limits collaboration. I’ve learned to listen with greater intention and lead with empathy, which has improved both team cohesion and project outcomes.”
“Daniel Khoroshansky at WCS was instrumental in my successful transition from technical consultant to solution architect in pre-sales, teaching me to be a better listener, take meaningful pauses, and give my full presence as a gift to others during interviews. His comprehensive EQ assessment revealed my strength in first-principles reasoning, and his expert guidance helped me advance to final rounds while positioning me perfectly for the career challenges ahead.”
“It was great working with Daniel. He provided a ton of value in helping me hone in on business development strategy and also in financial reporting for engineering projects!”
